The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the auto insurance industry, appraisers and claims analysts spend hours each week manually reviewing repair estimates from body shops. This means cross-checking invoices in Mitchell or CCC One, updating negotiation status in Excel, and emailing shops to clarify every discrepancy. The process is slow, error-prone, and distracts from more strategic tasks.
